Chilli Crabs

I hardly eat crabs at home. Let alone outside. Thats why it was really fun to eat Chilli Crabs @ East Coast, with 2nd sis and Colin. His condo was in some more-than-secludedplace of Pasir Ris and when we got to his place, it was already 9pm plus. We went to take a look at his condo, loitered around and proceeded for Chilli Crabs. Me and 2nd sis shared 1 Chilli Crab (1.4kg) and Colin ate 1 Black Peppered Crab alone. Frankly speaking, I really didnt know how eating crab works, but i just tried to bite anything that could be bitten. Things gotbetter and less messy as I ate more and more. All of a sudden, it rained. Heavily. With thunder even. We shifted our tables from outdoor to indoor 4 times. How fun. We then went to McDonalds for Sundae and tea till 3am-chatting. Hehe, it was tiring but fun. But i felt so guilty-cos Chilli Crabs are high in fats and cholesterol lol.

Whether I would go out with Colin again, maybe not.

Pizza hut/ KFC lunch

Pizza Hut and KFC lunch on this Friday and a buffet lunch last fri. 6 pizzas, 18 pieces of chicken, 6 boxes of Popcorn Chicken, 2boxes of Chicken Nuggets, 4 Boxes of Coleslaw and Whipped Potato...isnt it wonderful? I even got to take home some of the food twice! I really enjoyed the eating-together. Of cos the food was tasty, but it was the atmosphere that mattered the most to me. I felt the sense of belonging. The WARM atmosphere and the GREAT sense of belonging. All thanks to the $500 which Christine asked from the bosses. Haha.

Ministry of Sound

First of all, I know this is playing cheat, but i prefer my entries to be dated correctly. Anyway, here thanks to Zj, I got to go Ministry of Sound with 2nd sis. We had a hard time finding the place because of 2 non street-wise pple. After turning rounds and rounds around River Valley Road and Bkt Panjang, we finally reached MOS at 9.30pm-the proposed time to leave the place. We each drank 1 glass of Bourbon Coke ($10.50 each) and stayed for a while. A caucasian came to ask if we wanted to join him, but cos I had to wake up early next day, we declined his offer. The place reallyreminded me of NMS Countdown. Loud, misty and dark.

After chilling out at MOS, we went McCafe for fires and nuggets. Reached home at 12am, onlyto see pple quarelling over 1 parking spot. A fight almost broke out. Police cars and ambulance came, but nth big happened.

Tuition Affair

Just now SC's mum called to tell me that his dear son couldnt finish the tuition hwk that i gave him. U tell me if its a lot hwk for a sec 2 kid- 8 bio short qns (of which all ans are found exactly in the textbook) + revision of prev chapters over a duration of 1 week. Come on, it shouldnt even take him more than 1.5 hours to complete everything. And if he were todo some planning, it will only take him abt 15min each day. But there he was, saying that he didnt want to do the hwk, didnt want lesson. Just being blunt, of cos its perfectly fine with me. Afterall, I'm not the one sitting for exams. If he doesnt want to put in the effort, then why shd I? Having to wake up early in the morning everyday is not an excuse for not having tuition cos I HAVE TO WAKE UP EARLY IN THE MORNING EVERYDAY TOO!!! I'd wish to wake up late on a Sat too.

I don't understand what some parents are thinking of nowadays.

NTU/NUS?

I'm so confused. To sound philosophical, I'm at a crossroad. NTU or NUS? I don't like NUS but pple are telling me that NUS is better. Of cos I know NUS is better, but I really dont want to torture myself with more english modules. Its been tough to survive GP. A few reasons why I prefer NTU:

1. 1st sis and KH are from NTU
2. pple in NTU are nicer
3. no english modules in NTU
4. food in NTU is nicer
5. they hv the course I want

I'm not sure if i wanted the course cos NTU has it or I truly wanted the course. All I can say is that I'm biased. Biased against NUS, towards NTU.

DSTA Final Interview

Can u believe it-I've completed the whole of DSTA Scholarship Selection Process when there are still many pple who have yet to apply for the scholarship. The final round interview was the toughest interview of all that I have ever attended. The interviewers were the Chief Executive and Director of DSTA. They asked me qns that I couldnt ans and laughed at my replies. Mad. But the maddest of all was calling me at 10 plus am, telling me that I have been shortlisted for the Final Round Interview at that very aftn. So i took a half day leave and left in Soh's car during lunchtime. Why did they only notify me at the very last min? Wouldnt it be better if they told me just an hour before the interview? They didnt want me to prepare for it-it must have been that. But given the qns that they posed, there's no way I could have prepared for it.

147 pple for the final interview. The odds? Null.

Late day!

A very late day. Supposedly, I had to work till 1pm, had to have tuition with SC from 1.30pm-3pm, had to reach NMS by 4pm. Yet work ended slightly later so i started tuition later, ended tuition later and even boarded the wrong bus and hence, reached the final destination later. Haha. However, the best part of the whole day was meeting up with Chie Ling, taking photos, made a new friend-Darren and had a L-O-N-G nice chat. Haha.

Results Day

The results day. It wasnt that bad. But it could have been better. But i think at least my efforts for my 4 core subjects and 2 S Papers have paid off.

Talk abt my expectations, at least I got sth for my S Paper-I expected none. I didnt expect an A for Bio cos I've never gone near that grade, neither did i expect an A for Physics cos I thot the paper was too challenging. But miracles happened. Lets not talk abt GP, cos theres nth much to talk abt. I'm contented with 5 Distinctions for all my core A-level subjects and 2 Merits for my extra asked-for-it S Papers.

Company Dinner

Company Dinner 2007 @ The Paramount Restaurant (The Paramount Hotel)







Chris, Chan, Si Ling & Me (Happy Family)

Si Ling, Chan & Me


Daisy, Yeung Hei & Me


Si Ling, Rosie & Me


Me & Rosie


Me & Pin Pin

At first, I was reluctant to attend. But then I was excited. Eventually it was fun. The seating arrangement that Chris came up with was not useful and it ended up with guys 2 tables and gals 1 table. Chris and Crystal joined another table. I was sitting b/w Rosie and Si Ling,with all other female staff tgt.

Initially it was decided that Mr Kwong would fetch Chris then me at abt 7pm. So i took my own sweet time. At 6.30pm, Chris called me and said that Mr Kwong would be picking her up at 6.45pm. My goodness. I was far from ready. In the end, I rushed and i still made it early at the bus stop.

The food was so-so. So was the liquor. I drank a glass of wine and a glass of Vodka+7-Up. It was fun, esp with the bottoming up.And it was also my first time seeing real pple getting real drunk and tipsy. They were none other than Reymund and Chan. Reymund was the worst. It didnt take the waitress to serve 2 dishes before he got drunk. He couldnt even talk and walk properly and he started doing funny funny stuff. We took many photos and most of them included the drunkards who didnt know what they were doing. I wonder how Reymund is gonna work tmr. Before that, I wonder how Ray is gonna send the 2 drunkards back. I was sent right to my void deck in Bian's car. Haha.

2 jokes to share. Some lady mistook me for a waitress twice. And I blue-toothed my Donald Duck ringtone to an unknown K800i holder and eventually Pin Ping of Koh's photo back. The photo was horrendous. Horrendously funny.

The dinner wasnt that fantastic in terms of the facilities and food. Somemore, it ended at 9.40pm cos everyone had to work the next day. But the atmosphere was great, perhaps cos of Rosie. Its such a pity I wont be joining them for anymore dinners in future, but I believe Sunway's Annual Dinner 2007 is a dinner not to be forgotten by me and the others.

Pre-Dinner Day

I call today the pre-dinner day and also the best day of work. It was quite slack cos it was raining and it was Hamper day. I spent like most of the time opening the hampers (11 of them) and categorising them, sticking the number tags and preparing for lucky draw. I got #23 which consisted of Bird's Nest, Mushrooms, Dried Abalone, Cookies and Egg Roll. There were 30 sets in all, many aimed for the Brandy (Liquor) (#11, #12, #13) but not me. I couldnt be bothered. Eventually, Balaji, Castillo and Crystal got them. Castillo was so happy, everyone was so envious. Haha. I was contented too.

Unhappy things that happened today? Perhaps was the Sam's stupid printer part and the stupid msg that I sent to Chong and that could have offended him.

Sigh, tmr's results day. I took leave and decided to stay and sleep at home. My colleagues will sure be thinking that I got so drunk that I didnt turn up for work tmr. Haha. I'm always missing after fun events like PSS Finals and Company Dinner.
